Well, I enjoyed it. I think they put out and did the transition between Harvey and Tommy well. Thought Tommy flying around was cool too. I was worried they would cut the pyro and whatnot but the effects were cool. Bass pedal on the drums shook the drink in my hand - that rocked. It wasn't as rowdy as thought it might get. I knew the wierdos would come out of the wordwork, any good stories you care to share? - Mon, 10 Apr 2006 12:03am Edited: Mon, 10 Apr 2006 12:08am

Pretty cool - Vince still can't sing in my opinion - I was there for shuffling Mick Mars!! Saw the same show in edmonton and calgary and Vic was quite a good crowd for energy. I wish they did less fucking around and more playing. A nice lively sold out show like that will bring out more to our arena. Did they stop selling beer and water at 8:30? I was almost dead by the end.... - Mon, 10 Apr 2006 12:28am Edited: Mon, 10 Apr 2006 12:33am

At the concert in Victoria, the drummer was Will Hunt-a la the "Tommy Lee Band", "Dark New Day" and "Skrape". He KICKED ASS. The show was smooth and it's great that Motley stayed looking current with the cool videos and stage props.
Only thing I HAVE to say is that the sound sucked ugly goat balls. Sooooo bad, that even the seasoned Motley Crue fan at times would have trouble identifying the songs.
My poor ears.
All in all, a great show. I loved the 80's hair and Crue wanna be's! The crowd was off the hook! - Mon, 10 Apr 2006 9:32am Edited: Mon, 10 Apr 2006 9:45am

I agree, the sound was kind of shitty, making it difficult to decypher some of the songs. Tommy acting like some sort of techno DJ kinda pisses me off, but the drum solo was still cool.

And, as always, I looooove the titties. - Mon, 10 Apr 2006 9:45am Edited: Mon, 10 Apr 2006 9:46am

I think the question we non-Motley pocket liners wanna know is...was it worth the $92 or whatever it was to see them? - Mon, 10 Apr 2006 9:24pm Edited: Mon, 10 Apr 2006 9:25pm

For the 'experience', ya, it was worth the $$. But being unable to have a drink (they stopped serving booze when the band went on) sucked.

Photos are up.

I don't know where to start.

I went with some of the most hardcore punk rockers from 1980-84. These guys used to search & destroy.

First off how the hell can you be someone named Vince Niel get away with calling that many people "Motherfuckers"? If you where in a bar and called someone that... especialy if you where dressed in the pansy gear Motley Crue wear.... you would for sure be callin an ambulance.

And Yessss the sound was horrible! It usually took a few minuits to decifer what song was playin. Which was shitty for me because i only know maybe 2-3 Crue songs. I never bought into that type of Glam rock. So I waited the whole night for them to play "Welcome to the Jungle" and it freakin ends up that song isn't even a Crue song.

So now we have women crawling around on stage with nearly nothing on.... midgets tied up getting whipped. "Oh Hi, yes i'm a professional dancer... i dance around and rub my vagina on Vince Niel, other girls faces and ropes and spark making devices" Then the titty cam!!! What happened to the Dicky Cam this band really wants? But man does your mom have nice breasts!

Now the pyro show was cool... i want some of those flamethrowers for my backyard! Those loud explosions in between the odd noise that was supposed to be a song scared the Depends off me!

Then Tommy Lee. Runs around and swears and then then does some sort of techno rap peter pan thing that looks more like a Jane Fonda work out gone wrong. I kept waiting for him to start singin "Thank you very much a Mister Roboto."

But hey if I was a Crue Fan and Tommy phoned me and asked if i could play drums for him... I would be HIGH as a kite..... real proof that you don't need drugs to have a good time. My hat goes off to WILL HUNT. That must be the ultimate for any fan. From what i could see he was doin a great job!

I did enjoy the atmosphere of a live show that big... and yes the place is full of chairs and no-one used them! Stand up and flick your bic man! It would have been a good night to do B&E's in Langford because most of that municipality was at the SOFA..... including the COPS.

And Hey did you hear they arrested twice as many people at the Hilary Duff concert compared to the Crue show.... Bad boys of rock eh.

Anyway the show was at a near end and the encore was an old punk Classic called Anarchy in the UK. I looked over at the old punks i came with and saw them sitting on the chairs yawning. Then after a few minits of decifering the old dudes stood up and started belting out every word to this great old Sex Pistols song.

The light came on and as we left i found a toonie on the floor.... "F@ck Yeah!" What a great ending to the night!

Well the only reason they played old tunes was because that's the only thing the temp drummer knew.

And lucky you, buying a millionaire rockstar a couple of expensive shots! haha - Wed, 12 Apr 2006 11:25am Edited: Wed, 12 Apr 2006 11:25am

thanks rip skinny.

If only i had the balls to open up for Joey Shithead. Stand up on a message board and on stage are two different beasts. Maybe oneday I'll try some spoken word... i really want to, but I'm really a scared little boy in a mans 40 year old body. But heck if Tommy can get paid in millions for standing on stage and then have guys like Rev DB buy him drinks.... WHY THE FUCK CAN"T I DO IT?

By the way my MOTLEY review wasn't comedy... it was serious! - Sat, 22 Apr 2006 10:00pm Edited: Sat, 22 Apr 2006 10:09pm
